Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Red Nova Dragon BLZD-EN101 sells for $373 against $49.18 raw: a $324 spread, 7.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($247) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
